Sneak Peek: Game Of Thrones’ Dance Of The Dragons In Animated Form

HBO has something very special in store for Game Of Thrones fans who buy the season five box set. IGN has revealed that the extra features on the box-set will include a 20-minute animated version about the “Dance of the Dragons”, the Targaryen war of succession that tore Westeros apart in the prehistory of the events in the TV series. So far George RR Martin has only written one story set during this time – the novella The Princess And The Queen –but he has written a prequel called The Rogue Prince.

In this clip, Pedro Pascal (Oberyn Martell) tells the tale of the battle between Aemond and Deamon Targaryen, who fought on their dragons above the Gods Eye, near Harrenhal.

The Game Of Thrones season five box set will be released in the UK on 14 March.
